So how do I use the new Learning column

Two things:

1. It seems all of you assume that everyone uses FA or whatever adds the "Report" option. I bet most MW/MWP users don't.

2. Although the pause feature works fine, to me, it should only be needed to spend "extra" time looking over a screen. Even on a 1800+, it moves too fast to follow the pointer and read the sidebar - it would be more user friendly (and that is the idea, right?) if it moved at a more leasurely rate.

SH, there's also the Mailwasher - Basic Tutorials forum. But I guess it is kinda overused eh? Rolling Eyes

Hi BillBright:

Hey SightHound - It is not the mouse speed that is the problem (actually, problem is the wrong word, we'll go with "quibble") - and really only the first "page" is in question, where Spam Tools and Learning is selected, those screen shots are advanced a bit too fast, covering the previous shot a bit too quickly.

Keep in mind, I think this is a very minor issue about an otherwise most execellent tutorial.

Quibbles aside, very nice sighthound.

Thanks for the help in Learning Spam feature.

Very helpful tutorial Very Happy

In fact I took a look at it before downloading MWP4 by following the link on Firetrust's download page.

So how does MWP "learn"? Is it a glorified blacklist or does it use heuristic type criteria to determine what might be spam? Or something else? And yes, I did the tutorial! Smile

Hi a good tutorial but if it could be made to run a little slower and also have sound it would be great.
Thanks for a great product.

Sometimes I click a learning button to tell MailWasher that this message (which MailWasher thinks is a friend) to SPAM. The result is that the learning button disappears!

(I'm playing with filters to try to get MailWasher to figure out people who use my name and domain as their "from" address)
